The number of presidential electors in a state is equal to the number of Representatives plus the number of Senators (always two with the exception of D.C.) for that particular state.
As a result, California (before 2010 census) has far and away the most electors in the electoral college with 55, Texas is second with 34, and New York takes third with 31.
Seeing as the number of electors in a state is dependent upon the number of Representatives and the number of representatives in a state is proportional to the state population, then basically the number of electors correlates to the number of people in the state, leaving California on top. W00T!
